Jo McLachlan:  Everything that Jo does is full steam ahead, teaching, dancing, or running around Wheatland campus helping anyone and everyone for many years.  You will surely be pleased as you enjoy her Mountain Dulcimer class as she teaches you to play the Mountain Dulcimer.
Kathy Hagen:  Kathy brings us a fresh and new approach to playing the Hammered Dulcimer.  She is a very accomplished and structured musician and plays in several bands and clubs.  She will be assisted by Kathy Dean, both plays with the Broken Glass String Band from the Mt. Pleasant area.  All levels are welcome.
Rick Thum:  Rick is like a breath of fresh air, as he teaches and performs.  Rick comes to us from Missouri and has been a Wheatland staple for several years.  He can be found selling from his booth, teaching or maybe playing for some of the dances.  Don't miss his great Dulcimer workshop as he brings us new tunes and ideas.
Allen & Joyce Switzer:  We welcome the "Pucker Brush Players", as they bring us their wonderful wit, musical talents, and teaching abilities.  Both are music majors and now travel the globe performing and teaching traditional music and historical reenactments.  Be sure to join Al, Joyce and maybe Woodward as they teach an easy and fun way to chord on the Hammered Dulcimer.  You will be enlightened.
Willow Skye Robinson:  Willow, as a workshop instructor, has been very much enjoyed as she shares her twenty-five years of playing, teaching and performing.  Her great "Son of a Strum" Autoharp workshop is for all levels.  Starting with the basics from strumming to playing melody using a variety of strums, pinches, plucks and patting, all socially acceptable.  So bring your Autoharp, at least two finger picks and a sense of humor, plus a pick-y attitude.
Wanda Degen:  Wanda has been a long time teacher and performer at Wheatland.  She is an accomplished musician and vocalist and enjoyed by all, as she travels and shares her talents at many festivals and other assorted events throughout the year.  She brings to us an interesting and informative Mountain Dulcimer workshop that we are sure you won't want to miss.
